The Best Clipboard Managers For Mac

October 2024 1st edition

A handpicked selection of the best developer tools.

Here are the best tool picks of this edition. Visit the archive.

In this edition:

  • Paste – Clipboard Manager for Mac, iPhone, and iPad

  • Maccy - macOS clipboard manager

A good clipboard manager is one of the best productivity tools you can have—bar none. This is especially true if you work with applications that don’t interact with the system's native clipboard or if you frequently handle lots of screenshots. In this edition, I’ll highlight two options for macOS that I’ve personally used and recommend.

Paste

Paste is my personal favorite clipboard manager, thanks to its sleek design and a range of extra features that make it my go-to choice.

One of its standout features is the ability to create collections of frequently used items—perfect for storing things you often paste, like IDs, long passwords, or commonly used phrases. Paste is also available through Setapp, a subscription service that grants access to some of the best paid apps for macOS.

And it also works on iOS!

Maccy - A cat(1) clone with wings

If Paste isn’t your style or you don’t have a Setapp subscription, Maccy is a fantastic alternative that offers the same essential features at a much lower cost.

Maccy is available as a pay-what-you-want app on its website, so you can try it for free. If it ends up being a valuable addition to your workflow, consider supporting the developer by making a purchase.

See you in the next edition 👋🏻
